Personally I think it depends on the player. If a player like Roko or Siviventi ( sorry for the typ-o) decides to play for Fiji, then that's a great asset to the that team but moving down a level as a player. If the passion for the game is big enough I don't see any issues appearing but otherwise: Why would you play for a team that's worthy the semi finals on a WC if you we're part of a team that easily could win the final. A team that is also you're current place of living and provides you with everything?

Yes, what I don't agree with is guys like Doug Howlett, Sam Tuitupou and Sione Lauaki playing for there birth countries when some have already ticked up 50th tests for the All Blacks and some of these players moved overseas not because there days in the AB's were numbered but for the money!! If they had stayed around they may have been still in the All Blacks and prob wouldn't have even given their birth country a thought about playing for.
